Which weapon should i use ? (Retri)

Hey! So im not quite sure which weapon to use Starshatterer (normal mode) or the LFR sha axe? Im human so i get expertise from the sword but strength with the axe. Tried the axe without the gem and i lost like 10k dps O.o so im quite unsure atm

Weapon Damage determines the winner, bar none.
Since the Normal sword has a higher ilevel, and thereby higher weapon damage, it wins flat-out.

Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.
